Beth Tweddle was screwed out of a medal on the Uneven bars at the last Olympics. It’s that simple.

I don’t know how much Vodka, Valeri Liukin gave the judges to make sure Nastia made the podium but it doesn’t change anything. Beth Tweddle was robbed of a medal (Yang Yilin was robbed of Gold but that is a whole other discussion)

That is why this article almost brought tears to my eyes. You can hate Beth for her non existent dance ability but the one thing you can’t hate her for is her amazing UB routine. It’s exactly what an UB routine should be about.

Before I talk about how rude Nastia was to many gymnasts at the Woga Classic I have a few short things to talk about.

GymnasticsCoaching.com has a cute video about BYU gymnastics and posters they made for the team using water. These girls were such good sports during the whole thing and the video was funny. Make sure you watch it.

Nastia apparently was her usual eye rolling self at the Woga Classic and she refused to sign autographs for at least a couple of kids. Nastia’s bad attitude is the norm when the camera’s are not around but this time she must have gone too far because she actually issued an apology. Well more like an excuse. Not sure where this came from but here is her “apology” on facebook.

I’ve heard some were disappointed that I wasn’t able to sign autographs DURING the competition. In all fairness, I was told not to sign while the competition was going on, as I didn’t want to cause a distraction to the girls competing. I’m truly sorry if any were disappointed. That was not my intention. But I am pleased to say, we DID get thru the entire line that wrapped around the whole building Saturday evening…. I appreciate your love and support. Xo NL

In all fairness ? LMAO. Did she really say that. How is, rolling your eyes and ignoring a bunch of kids “In all fairness” This girl is a flipping disaster and everyone makes excuses for her. It’s amazing. Is the word, DURING really capitalized in her quote on facebook? OMNG, This is hilarious.

IG has a new stalker in ‘I punched A-Sac” I can’t believe that retard is a mother. I guess I should quote what was written for TCO but I don’t feel like it.:)

I wasn’t impressed but it is February so no one needs to impress now anyway.

That being said Rebecca Bross looked like crap. She was her usual aggressive self on beam but I will never get what it is about this girl that impresses people. She is worse then Carly Patterson when it comes to being robotic but at least Carly had a little bit of rhythm to her on her best event. Rebecca is just clod hopping skill landed low after clod hopping skill.

On bars her form was worse then usual. You would think with all that time off on the power events she would have worked on her execution and technique on bars but she didn’t even swing the bar well.

I know. I know. IT’S FEBRUARY!!

I know the world loves Katelyn Ohashi for her potential but I think she has lost a lot of the spark she had as a junior gymnast. Technically she is still a junior but she has grown a lot the last year. The rhythm and flow she had seems to be disappearing too.

Her beam skills are looking more secure but she isn’t going to credit for some of her connections if the judges are being fair.

Her floor had a lot of messy landings and she flung a couple of passes.

I will give Valeri a little credit. The scores were not scam cup worthy like I expected but then again his Princess Nastia didn’t compete. Then again I just compared her scores to other scores and she was generously scored compared to others.

Nastia was apparently rude to some autograph seekers last night. I read somewhere her shoulder was sore so we now have #NastiaExcuse#1

:Sore Shoulder

Here is Madison Kocian on bars. She hit almost every handstand near perfectly except two. She had several form breaks from the calves down and one big leg separation. I had originally had this as the most impressive routine of the night but I changed that when I saw a better version of the video.

About a week ago I sat here and thought I came up with the perfect Olympic team. Then the other day I realized that Mckayla Maroney wasn’t on it.

I honestly don’t see a team that doesn’t have that Amanar on it.

So I did some more thinking tonight realizing that my thinking Nastia would fit perfectly with Aly for a spot ( in Marta’s mind) was……

Then I realized last night she actually fits better with Mckayla.

Vault-floor vs beam/bars.

Then I thought again how Alicia Sacramone better just retire right now. A vault and beam specialist has no shot at this team. Someone would have to be good at bars and floor to fit with her. Then the scary words Gabby Douglas came to mind and I screamed really loudly inside. Her floor is not strong enough for that.

No matter what team I come up with I can find no logical reason to take Nastia even if she gets her UB routine in shape.

Jordyn, Kyla, Aly, Rebecca and Nastia leaves Mckayla off the team.

I know a lot of people think Aly has no shot at this team and I know Marta will pick Nastia regardless of how she competes at Trials and Nationals.

Would Marta have the gall to screw Kyla Ross of a spot on this team in favor of Nastia.

All Aly ever does is hit. If she hits at Nationals and Trials will Marta dare leave her at home?

I know this is all just thinking out loud.

What do you think? I need help here. Am I too set in stone having Aly on this team?

Maybe I should start trying to come up with teams leaving Aly at home.

Orozco leads but none of his scores stand out on a single event.
Hamm tanked big time. (Does not move on to day 2)
Horton competed just pommels and screwed up.
Dalton didn’t compete floor.
David Sender is back but has no real bright spot individually except vault.
Legendre was over scored per usual and hit only his two best events. On vault he was only 7th.
Leyva is third AA but only had one big score. He was second on high bar but score isn’t very impressive. He hit floor too for second place
Chris Brooks is in second, as hot as ever and he beat Leyva on HB and parallel bars.
Ruggeri screwed up his best event (pommels)
Christopher Maestas had the best rings

1- Not Hamm’s fault per say but the writer of the article tries to make it seem like Hamm acting like a jackass is “against his character” even using the way he acted during the Yang Tae Young situation as a reason to why this is against his character. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Oh yes the press conference he had nit picking every one of Yang’s routines as a reason to why he should have won anyway is just so classy. NOT

2- He talks about himself in the third party. Yep this is taking being an ego maniac to the extreme. This is like Manny Rameriz ego territory here.

“But I think you’re going to see Paul Hamm in four events this weekend.”

3- I’m not thinking about winning the all-around or winning an individual event.” LIAR

Paul Hamm wants to be remembered as a great Olympic champion

This comment makes me laugh. If the gymnastics is the “last word” in this sport then Hamm is NOT the Olympic Champion. He’s a fraud. He might “want to be remembered” as the Olympic Champion but he is anything but in every aspect except unfortunately for Yang Tae Young is the one that counts. The record books.

Nastia verified bars, scored low but it’s evidently great for her to be even this far at this point.

First Kyla being close to Jordyn is great. It means Marta isn’t going to screw the new kid to add Nastia to a team.

My favorite part is Nastia scoring low. Maybe Marta will do the right thing and not over score her to keep her in the running.

Explain to me how ” it’s evidently great for her to be even this far at this point” even makes sense? It’s less then 6 months away from qualifying to the team. If she is this far off then maybe Abomb’s opinion is wishful thinking. We all know GGMB is a “Nastia is perfect ” zone or you get banned.

Unless this is Nastia giving out info to make it look like she is super women for coming back with only a few months to go.
